bloodread | DOKJA + YOO JOONGHYUK

[ After all that they're trapped as usual, though at least for Akira and yjh it's inside this week. Akira gives the barrier a half-hearted punch, then leans against the nearest wall.

The one week he doesn't try to get out is the week they'll actually be able to get out. ]

...this has been one hell of a week. [ Night even, but rather than call that out, Akira just looks at them both. ]

Mm... The system messages stopped, so I think we should be fine.

[ Joonghyuk's tail still swishes, annoyed. ]

Back to only one to three bodies a week.

Only one group returned today. Not that I'm too sure if anyone else was missing outside those four.

[ Dokja stands there, arms crossed, Jin on the other hand is pacing with her fur a little puffed out. At least Akira is here so that's one less worry?

Lips are tugged in a frown, his own tail hanging low with ears folded back. ]

... Barok van Zieks wasn't here to see Reze. Kaburagi Kotetsu seemed to be not present, either.

[ BUT COULD JUST BE... THEM NOT BEING ONLINE? I DON'T KNOW. Niah tilts his head, curious, too. ]

[ He's trying to think hard, regarding those that came up when the group returned. ]

..If there's one person I expected to be there definitely, it would have been Kim Kitsuragi-ssi. [ But he was also really distracted by Reze. Is it possible that the first two went on another adventure? It hasn't happened yet but... it could be possible, no?

Jin watches them both before slowly... moving over to Niah... and flopping against the other daemon. This is Fine. ]

That old geezer does get his hands over everything, huh? [ Akira was there sidelines like usual, because as long as there is a surplus of healers he's happy to stay away from all of that.

Nagako looks at Jin and Niah, then trots over, jumping into the pile. ]

[ They are three! ]

Kim Kitsuragi is good at following his job despite the setting, it seems.

[ Cuddle pile?! Jin is excited, squishing in happily. ]

Which is fortunate for the group.

He said he wants to solve everything just to get to the bottom of it all, so yeah.

[ Three happy daemons, expressing something their owners can't. ]

[ Dokja just nods to that, hand curling in front of his lips as he falls into his thoughts. They're of course free to continue talking! Tonight was. A Lot.

Jin seems a little distracted, but the arctic fox is content just chilling with her daemon pile. ]

... Something on your mind?

[ So much has happened?? ]

[ Dokja looks over to Joonghyuk at that, meeting his gaze with a quiet expression. His brows furrow after, looking off to the side, then seems to be in thought some more. Finally, after a moment longer he does look back to his companion. ]

I have to tell you something. [ It is Thursday. And well... the curfew has already settled in. Last week he had accompanied Reze and by morning he... Well, no point in thinking about it now. There's already a lot on his mind. So, he approaches close, glances over to Akira with a.. well, maybe a quick look. Is it apologetic? Sheepish? Either way, sorry Akira.

Then leans over to whisper to something to Joonghyuk. ]
